Event Subobject

Event Subobject

Defines a single reported Rate Plan Event, including the time stamp and billing status, and the Account, AutoBill, AutoBillItem, or Product with which the Event is associated.

Events are associated with AutoBillItems, in that a single AutoBillItem may contain an array of Events, but each Event is contained in only one AutoBillItem.

When defining an Event, associate it with a single, unique AutoBillItem. The AutoBillItem may be identified using any combination of the following objects’ identifiers: Account, AutoBill, AutoBillItem, or Product. CashBox requires that at least one of the following three data members be specified: Account, AutoBill, or AutoBillItem.

When an Event object is returned, CashBox will populate both the VID and the ID for each of the four objects listed above, from the information contained in the database for the specified AutoBillItem.

If, when reporting an Event, more than one AutoBillItem fits the description, CashBox will return an error. The Event Object Values appear in the table below.
